Our crawl space had a musty smell for as long as we've owned the house. The team removed the mold that was there and encapsulated the whole space, and they were careful to work around our radon vent pipe the whole time.

Reviews
Rated 4.9 by Middleborough Center-area neighbors
Called about a musty smell and they walked me through every step before starting. The area was contained properly and the odor was gone when they finished.
The team contained the work area with plastic sheeting and air scrubbers. Our kids stayed safe the whole time.

Good to know
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Middleborough Center, MA: common questions
Do you remove existing mold before encapsulating?
Yes, encapsulating over active mold growth doesn't solve the problem. We remove and treat existing mold first, then install the vapor barrier.
How long does crawl space encapsulation take?
It depends on the size of the crawl space and how much remediation is needed first, but most projects are completed within a few days.
Is my crawl space a good candidate for encapsulation?
Dirt crawl spaces with recurring moisture, musty odors, or visible mold on framing are typically good candidates. We can assess yours during an inspection.
How do you keep the mold from coming back after crawl space encapsulation?
We fix the moisture source first, not just the mold, then dry the structure and recheck it. That is what keeps mold from returning to a Middleborough Center home.
Will encapsulation affect my radon mitigation system?
No, we coordinate the vapor barrier installation carefully around existing radon vent piping so the system continues working as intended.
Does encapsulation stop mold from coming back?
It significantly reduces the ground moisture that feeds mold growth, which is the main reason crawl spaces develop recurring problems.
Will my insurance cover crawl space encapsulation in Middleborough Center?
It depends on the cause. When the mold follows a sudden, covered event, there is often coverage. We bill your carrier directly and document the loss so your Middleborough Center claim moves.
Do you serve Middleborough Center?
Yes. We cover all of Middleborough Center, including Middleborough, North Lakeville, Raynham Center, and the rest of the Middleborough Center area. We are based in East Freetown, about 15 minutes from our East Freetown base, and answer our own phone around the clock.
